Hi folks,

I recently noticed a number of failed Admin login attempts on my forum. I think it was just a member being silly. However I want to further deter this.

Is there a way to increase the failed login threshold aka timing them out?


-Thank you in Advance.

I wish you well.

If that's not enough, you might want to try a mod:

Thanks guys. I went there and it says:

"Failed login threshold "5"

Does that mean 5 seconds or 5 mins?
